# XtVaCreateArgsList(3)

dynamically allocate a varargs list

## NAME

XtVaCreateArgsList - dynamically allocate a varargs list

## SYNTAX

\#include \<X11/Intrinsic.h\>

XtVarArgsList XtVaCreateArgsList(XtPointer *unused*, ...);

## ARGUMENTS

- *unused*

  Must be specified as NULL.

- *...*

  Specifies a variable parameter list of resource name and value pairs.

## DESCRIPTION

The **XtVaCreateArgsList** function allocates memory and copies its arguments into a single list pointer, which may be used with **XtVaNestedList**. The end of both lists is identified by a *name* entry containing NULL. Any entries of type **XtVaTypedArg** are copied as specified without applying conversions. Data passed by reference (including Strings) are not copied, only the pointers themselves; the caller must ensure that the data remain valid for the lifetime of the created varargs list. The list should be freed using **XtFree** when no longer needed.
